Garlic Pizza Bread - Yummy!

[Wazza McG]

I took the family out for dinner the other night to have a wood fired pizza - it's been a long time since we bought pizza's  . 

We ordered a garlic bread and it came out in a 13" pizza tray, sliced up and looking like a thin Neapolitan pizza - the kids loved it.  It appeared that they used their standard pizza dough for this or a focaccia equivalent with toppings of garlic, fresh parsley, bacon and a very small amount of hard cheese - probably Parmesan, or a mix with mozzarella. 

I had a laugh when the kids said that the garlic pizza bread and the pizza had bubbles in it like the ones I make.  My eldest said she liked my pizza's better - truly, I nearly fell off the chair.

The guy at the oven was really busy so I never annoyed him too much.  I'm assuming , he used a light olive oil for the garlic pizza bread as the flavour of the oil/butter  was not that dominant.

Anyway, I was hoping someone at the forum may have a recipe on this simple entree, so I can follow it up by the main course of a real pizza made at home.

Hi,

Our recipe uses our usual pizza dough topped with some olive oil, garlic, mozzarella and a sprinkle of rosemary then some sea salt afterwards(v. important I think!). We usually make them the same size as the pizzas but I prefer to open them out a bit smaller as they tend to get too crispy for my liking...

Do you remember what they charged for that? Must be a ton of profit in it.

The garlic pizza bread with a sprinkle bacon was $5.95 - most main pizza's cost $15 ~ $16, the seafood pizza was $18.95.  I hope that helps for comparison.  I would say it was profitable.

Wazza McG,

Maybe you have already seen this thread, http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=1681.msg15156#msg15156, but if not you will see how some pizza operators make their bread sticks, and garlic knots as well.

Thanks! That surely is a profit maker.
